Hey Kono, I know this is not the right thread, but have you ever substituted Noyaux for Orgeat in a pinch?

I've never had Noyaux. I don't have a problem getting orgeat so I never need to substitute.

When I was a wee tiki neophyte I would use almond extract and sugar water but that was a long time ago. I've gotten orgeat from Trader Vic's online store, Fees Bros orgeat off of ebay (of all places) and there's a store around here called World Market (or something like that) that carries all the Torlani syrups. So...I've not been in a pinch for orgeat in a long time. Stay away from the Torlani sugar free almond syrup. It's pretty much tasteless IMO.

Keep looking for the orgeat. I'm sure there's some devilish cult in your area that also has need of it. :wink:
